Waterloo Sunset

Click on the title above to hear my cover.




There are some songs that should never be covered.

So I'm going to do them.


Waterloo Sunset is a damn near perfect popsong. It is achingly sad but somehow uplifting at the same time. Mid 60s Kinks captured such a delightfully light take on pop music which is remarkable considering the grungy guitars before and heavy handed hits afterwards.




My version is meant to sound like a mildly psychotic musicbox. Even if you find my version on the nose, it's a great excuse to enjoy the original.


More sacrilege upon the classics soon...
